At an ongoing hearing in Philadelphia about Elon Musk and his super PACs $1 Million Voter GiveawayA defense attorney said the gift is a way to recruit spokespeople for America PAC, while the Philadelphia district attorney testified that it is a “scam.”

According to defense attorney Chris Gober, recipients of the million-dollar checks sign contracts after being selected from a group of people who signed the petition to serve as spokespersons for the PAC. It has already been decided that tomorrow’s winner will be a registered Michigan voter.

“They were not chosen by chance,” Gober said during the hearing in Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas.

Minutes later, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s team showed a video in court in which Musk promised the money would be awarded “randomly.”

“So I have a surprise for you, and it’s that we’re going to randomly award a million dollars to people who have signed the petition every day from now until the election,” Musk told a crowd in Pennsylvania on Oct. 19. .

Testifying from the witness stand, Krasner criticized the lottery as a “scam” and a “scam” intended to “flood money into American elections.”

“That’s not a contract and it’s not a job,” said an animated Krasner, the first witness at the hearing. “There are certain words that stand out: award. It doesn’t sound like a spokesperson contract.”

“It’s certainly supposed to be a random selection despite what I think is a very false version that I think I heard today,” Krasner said.

Krasner testified that America PAC has effectively defrauded Philadelphia residents by taking away their personal information, which they entered to sign the petition to enter the drawing, while the drawing never offered them a random chance to win the million-dollar prize.

“They were scammed out of information,” said Krasner, who is asking a judge to immediately stop the giveaway.
